BOS+ Details
BOS+ is an NGO dedicated to sustainable forestry, conservation and afforestation in Flanders and worldwide. A new name in the forest landscape, BOS+ is the integration of 2 existing NGOs: the Association for Forests in Flanders (VBV), which has been promoting forests in Flanders for more then 40 yrs, and Groenhart, since 10 yrs doing the same in a number of tropical countries. Their successful collaboration culminated in the creation of BOS+ in 2012. BOS means ‘forest’ in Dutch, and the '+' in the name has several meanings: TOGETHER BOS+ collaborates. The '+' obviously stands for the cooperation between VBV and Groenhart, but there's more. BOS+ is a frontrunner and brings forests to the limelight. But others have to participate, to help spread the message: BOS+ forest lovers, + press, + civil and private society, + environmental NGOs, + land owners, + forest managers, + authorities, + scientists, + national and international partners, + ... Only together can we create a broad base and growing awareness that forests and trees are vital for a livable world for humans, plants and animals. Only together can we reach this goal. MORE Far too many forests still disappear: yearly deforestation reaches several times the size of Belgium. In Flanders large areas of forest are destroyed, a sad exception in Europe where the past decades forest area has grown over 2 million ha. The conclusion is simple: BOS+ wants more forest. The world needs more forest. BETTER Forests and trees contribute to a more sustainable society, not only in Flanders, but worldwide. It's important not only to have more, but also better forests. BOS+ asks for greater efforts for forest conservation and management. BOS+ has the knowhow and the experience for environmentally sound forest management. We have an innovative approach to sustainable forest policies. Anyone who is committed to forests can make use of it. Eventually these efforts serve society as a whole, because FORESTS GIVE LIFE
